Creemore Springs Altbier Collaboration Ale

No weak beer during beer week

WHAT: Creemore Springs Altbier Collaboration Ale Rating: NNNNN

WHERE: Creemore

WHY: To celebrate Creemore's 25th anniversary, brewmaster Gord Fuller visited the Zum Schlüssel brew pub in Düsseldorf, the traditional home of altbier. A quarter-century of experience and some well-travelled Schlüssel yeast have gone into this beautifully balanced lagered ale.

Within three sips, I could envision a night at the taps drinking mug after mug of this yeast-meets-west delight.

PRICE: 473 ml/$2.80

AVAILABILITY: At most liquor stores while quantities last (product #309641) and the Beer Academy
